The Department of Literature within the Division of Arts & Humanities at the University of California, San Diego (http://literature.ucsd.edu) seeks candidates specializing in British literature of the long eighteenth century whose research, teaching, or service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and inclusion in higher education.

Special interests, such as transatlantic British literary studies, transnational literary projects, and the culture of empire are especially welcome.
